Date: last friday Location: Starbucks
I was working @ starbucks enjoying my own drink from home and my daughter (11) and her friends were hanging out at shops in the area, as kids do on a half day in our town.
They came in, one said "I have to pee", and asked my daughter to go with. Knowing that the restrooms lock and you need the code to get in, I said "that's fine". For some unknown reason, I got up and wandered around the store, and back to my bag to pack up.
In a flash my daughter is at my side. "Mama, a man just came into the ladies bathroom".
I stood in shock as two girls who barely knew me and my daughter who clearly did NOT want mama bear to embarrass her watched me silently. Out of the women's bathroom comes a light in his loafers entitled f**k. Mid 20s, I can do what I want.....I was convinced my daughter could have taken him out.
I started to take two steps towards him, everything in my head was silent, and I heard, "Mama, DON'T". Not that I was going to embarrass her. I was ready to go full mama bear on this entitled fuck who thinks that it's HIS right to be in a women's bathroom.
Nope. Not on my watch.
I stop, compose, and turn towards the counter. Enter the starbucks employee who will comply to every "my body my choice" to keep her job.
Conversation goes as follows:
me: excuse me, I have a question?
barista known as Peyton (f): yes?
me: I was wondering what your restroom protocol is?
peyton: well, the bathrooms lock
me:: well those locks don't work well when a man just came into the women's bathroom.
(she looks at me like I'm lying and my daughter speaks up and backs up what happened)
here is where it gets good:
Peyton: well, he's......he's...... (clearly not wanting to point out that he's gay) me: he's what. Please tell me the excuse Peyton: he's...um.... me, getting louder: what? a MAN in a WOMENs restroom when there are CHILDREN in there?
Peyton dismisses me and turns away, saying I'm sorry you were uncomfortable with this.
I then pushed the issue, asking why the doors are locked, and then asking if she was a mother. Shocking fact: she's not.
After a few phone calls, come to find out that Peyton knows said gay in question, he is a former employee.
My chat with Starbucks corporate was a laugh, and I'll try to post the pics from the chat - after I asked the restroom protocol given to locations, the agent left the chat.
I am disgusted. Disgusted for the world my daughter is growing up in, disgusted that these vile things are being considered as "ok".
Please, patriots. Please help me get the word out about this. My daughter and her friends were shaken up by this. Their moms were in shock as well when I sat down with them later in the evening (meeting both of them the first time, too, lol) when the girls were having a sleepover.
Follow up:
A district manager spoke with my husband and was appalled. Apologized. Told him they would take actions.
Fuck that. I feel like I need to use my mouth on this.
Don't go to Starbucks ---- problem solved.
She wasn’t looking for a solution. She was asking for help in getting information out. She was saying be careful the next kid might not have a “mama bear” the slippery slope has been proven. The question is what are we going to do about it.
My first thought is for parent to stand in front of the door. Until the young girls our finished. We have ridiculous society that looks at Muslim women are treated while at the same time using our girls and women to the wolves.
Don’t go to Starbucks. What a douche thing to say. If you like being a douche I think Reddit will be more your speed. It’s happening everywhere. Not just starbucks.
When you have never heard a gunshot accept on tv when a real gun is fired near your home it is scary. For most of us the trannies are always on tv. When it’s your turn to open your eyes and see what is going it’s terrifying. No douche I am not talking about being afraid of transtesticles, the fear isn’t of them it’s fear of yourself. When someone threatens your child it’s over for most people. There is a level of adrenaline rage you cannot know without feeling it. Why is it different? There is no discussion there is no negotiation. In 1.5 seconds there is an intense fire you have never felt before.combat vets know it. We dream about it every night.
When we are out in public in this new ideaology we have to be smart. You see a man trying to follow children we need to block the door and make them wait. You see a good man or woman taking a stand we have to step up with them. Nobody has to get hurt. They will just have to wait.
Thank you.
The first few comments I got were about "well don't go there"
They didn't see the look in my kid's eyes.
True, but NGL, it sure would feel good to stomp a mud hole in one of these degenerates every now and then.
Watch less tv. Don't give in to all of your fears.
A grown ass man was in a women's restroom where two girls were in there first. Did not leave after seeing them. What if this man decided he liked YOUR little girl? Would that be OK with you?
Do you know what Starbucks does with your money when you buy their $7 diabetes in a cup? They help fund organizations who promote the same behaviors with which you are appalled. The "don't go to Starbucks" people are right. There's a good chance you've known for years that Starbucks is wicked. You shouldn't have been in there to begin with. Out of care for the victims of the incident, you shouldn't go back.
Come to think of it, the ACLU is set up outside of there all summer long (at least, at that location). Another organization I thought was on the up until I was awake.
Another lesson in being awake: People think "oh that kind of reach couldn't happen here". It definitely does. I couldn't shake the bad feeling in my gut that I had all week prior to this.
I have absolutely NO issues in writing them off. I haven't been to Target in ages to begin with and have found such joy in their tanking.
and bud light is just piss in a can.
I must admit, that double-smoked bacon cheddar and egg is the best fast food breakfast sandwich I've ever had. Too bad it's served by Moloch.
Glad I live in a state where they arrest men who go in the women's bathroom.
No that's not okay. I didn't mean to make it sound like that was okay. Im not saying you did anything "wrong".
My comment was about the things you said about t.v. and the crazy making of keeping up with all the madness. I hope you don't get captured by fear and loathing, is all. It's a wonderful world and I hate to hear people being drafted into culture war craps.
I'm so sorry. I gave up believing the news the night of the 2020 election (and found this message board 6 months later) . I feel sorry for people who believe the msm.
I'll trust catturd over anyone on tv any day!!!
Your dismissal is proof u have no idea how the world works. You know nothing go back to Reddit.
Yeah, I feel I that financially supporting Starbucks at this point is the problem. Every dollar is a vote. As a private business they have every right to do whatever clown ass stupid shit they want - it’s of course more complicated then that so to our government diving into socialism face first and using our money to finance most of this crap but it wouldn’t be possible if we all stopped.
again....was not financially supporting them.
So you weren't even a paying customer but feel you have the right to control the bathroom policy for a private business? Did you change the menu to your liking as well? Vote with your wallet. And I guess your feet, if you still don't get how to keep safe from this business.
Yep. Buy a espresso and coffee maker combo. Screw starcucks
Only this isn't about coffee - she was drinking her own drink from home anyway and just using their wifi while the girls shopped. This isn't about boycotting Starbucks either. FFS it's about THE MAN THAT FOLLOWED TWO CHILDREN INTO A LOCKED PUBLIC BATHROOM and scared the shit out of them.
I read story. I would never use a starbucks bathroom or step into one even for free stuff. The free wifi is a good way to hack you phone.
I was on long drive trip once not long ago, and had to piss like a race horse. I confess, I pulled off the freeway and ran into the closest place I knew would have a restroom which happened to be a starbucks. Single use restroom with a latch lock. I doubt however anyone would follow this old man overweight boomer into a restroom. LOL
That's different lol. You can get those Travel John's. I use those when I cant find a bathroom on road trips it's a great thing to carry in your car when you need it. A pee bag with that stuff that turns to gel for men and women. Then just throw in garbage bag.
Taking a crap is another story lol.
Or, just drink burnt motor oil straight from your crankcase.
Better flavor, and cheaper for a quart of it than for a cup of what passes for "coffee" at Starbucks.
That was my first thought… why the fuck were they there in tue first place? We KNOW about them and have for years now.
being that I knew the bathroom locked, I did NOT expect an employee to give a male the female restroom code.
THIS - Does the door have a vacant or in use indicator on the lock?
I want to go back and look.
I live near San Francisco, and I recall (haven't been there in a long time) you needed a key and the bathroom was just for one person.
This was a central location in which i could work and look outside to keep a pulse on my daughter's location.
That's like saying, 'don't like that pornographic t.v. show, don't watch it.' That's only a temporary solution. It doesn't go to the heart of the underlying problem. And yes, that is a problem in larger society. To simply ignore things like this is cowardly.
No ---- this is THE solution ---- just don't do it.
I agree that if enough people stopped going, the problem would be solved because they would soon be out of business. But if we all turn a blind eye to the ills of society, nothing changes because the ills don't go away. We just avoid them, but they are still there, rotting away at the society we live in.
YES! This is the way. This is how we ladies take back our spaces.
And have you ever noticed that this was never about women being able to go into men's restrooms? Hmm, wonder why.
a meme that sticks in my head:
take away the makeup, the heels, dresses, wigs...these are grown ass men salivating to thrust in front of your children.
I have deep sorrow for people who think this is ok.
For one thing, women won't fight to go in men's restrooms because we know they are filthy and they stink because no employee goes in and sanitizes off, the pee and ? every where on every surface. They'd have to go in every hour. Guys why do you tolerate stenchy restrooms. You deserve better. Your sons need to learn it is not ok.
I've worked both food service and retail and my experience is that men are actually much cleaner and more respectful of a public restroom than women are. The things I've had to clean up in the womens restroom would make you lose your lunch. Men's room? Eh, the occasional miss. Nothing terrible.
We live in a society! Kidding.
Blows me away people still buy shit from Starbucks. STOP GIVING THEM MONEY!
um, I wasn't.
Ok cool. It was just a general comment. :)
I wouldnt pay that much for a coffee anyway
lol thats why I bring my drink from home. To be honest it was a good central point and I needed the wifi.
Well i am glad you are speaking up these freaks have no business around children. I am sure starfuks corporate doesnt give 2 shits either. They just need to post a sign … if you are packin a dick turn around your not allowed in here simple lol
I know, right? of all the companies to be pissed at. they certainly don't give a rat's ass.
I would. Good coffee costs money, or else it tastes like total garbage.
Coincidentally.. Starbucks coffee isn't good, overpriced and (in my opinion) over roasted.
But I would gladly give local cafes and such equal or greater money for better coffee and to resist Starbucks' bullying tactics.
Wait, the guy was just "gay?" That's not a protected class to use women's restrooms. We're supposed to support Trans' ability to use women's restrooms because they are "women." But "gay" isn't trans and isn't "woman."
"Trans" isn't woman either, for the record.
If you don't have the XX chromosome you aren't a woman. Period. End of discussion.
No, really. That is the literal end of the discussion. There isn't any more pertinent info to add to it, no matter how much the lisping sissies insist. Try saying THAT three times, you lisping sissies! LOL
I have been saying this exact thing all along. Even a fucking Jr. High biology class teaches a basic genetics curriculum. How the fuck the woke are getting away with this is beyond my comprehension. People are so stupid these days.
Yup. And the lisping sissies would also have a tough time with your user name LOL
It's all part of the NWO/Great Reset agenda that utilizes the DS control of the media to push bullshit like trans as acceptable in society as well as with our children.
It's not acceptable. It's mental illness being presented in msm as normal behavior.
One cannot become a man or become a woman. One can only pretend and as part of that pretense, engage in extreme body modification in the hopes of actually becoming.
THANK YOU. Exactly.
attn: mods: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for the pin.
Owner of Starbucks uninvited all Trump supporters as soon as he was elected. Said he didn't want Trumps supporters in the store. WORKS FOR ME. Maybe if they were treated like Bud Light, it would help their attitude.
I would have not shown that kind of restraint. I would not have asked the Barista squat. I would have had a chat with the man in the women's bathroom.
Yep. This scares me, in the context that, if that were me … I would have tested the tensile strength of the tile and porcelain with his face. Im not an aggressive/violent person, but when it comes to my wife and kids, I wouldn't have a problem with a few days in jail.
I am a woman and would have taken care of it. I told my husband if I ever am in the bathroom and a man walks in the entire place will know it. He said I have no doubt and that you will be on the news.
KEK.
Kek! That would be me too. Nope not happening if my granddaughters are in the bathroom, heck or even my grown daughters, even though they are tough and can handle their own. And I don't care if I embarrass the kids or anyone else for that matter, if I'm upset about something, you will hear about it. Actually, I think my girls would back old mom up, lol. My oldest that has the daughters would jack a guy up if they went into the bathroom or laid a hand on those girls, and I'd back her up, lol.
Amen.
Shaming people by recording the encounter on video is a solid approach.
I'm thinking the barista was reluctant to pursue it not due to policy or politics but because the offender was a personal friend.
That said, screw Starbucks anyway.
I really wish I could post my chat online with corporate.
seems "turn the other way" is their slogan.
I would consider that as progress. Prior to Bud Light, their slogan would've been "Then don't come back, bigot."
You use your mouth and roar like a lion when it comes to children! I'm with you on that. My job went so woke they said we are not allowed to say anything if a man goes into the women's restroom. RUFKM? I will not comply, I will not be told what to do and I will not be silent. (currently seeking better opportunities to work my ass off for a business owned and operated by patriots)
Thank you. This is just hitting me in such a way. I don't want to keep quiet.
You're welcome. And don't be quiet. I won't either. WWGIWGA
Umm, why are you going to Starbucks?
I am able to work where there's wifi -- my daughter was going out with her friends and while I wasn't thrilled with that to begin with, I knew that the location I was at was the most central to keep an eye out the window.
little did I know the threat wasn't outside.
This clarification was helpful. my first reaction was the same as many others, what did you expect? why were you there? etc... well handled indeed but the majority of folks expect this kind of thing at these places. Even regional and local places that are woke are avoided at all costs. still a good story and solid job calling them out. it won't change anything when they are esg/dei till they die b/c of blackrock and soro's money.
Kinda like our country…biggest threat is from within.
Walmart has open wifi in their parking lot. RV travelers use it all the time.
Lol
Wait you mean the Corporation who destroyed thousands of local mom and pop shops
With a logo of a star of remphan two tailed mermaid with her legs spread wide open behind her head, luring you in with addiction sugary GMO madness aimed towards young kids
Is pushing globalist NWO degeneracy!?
I don't get why the door locks on bathroom doors don't work, in a fast-food franchise restaurant.
That seems like something that could be legally exploited in a lawsuit against corporate. Sue for mental and emotional damages on the part of the minor child.
Hey, use their weaponry against them.
I stopped going to star sux when they refused to hire veterans. Screw them.
they refused to hire veterans?!?!?!?
Wokesters have become comfortable enough to do as they please while ignoring basic human dignity.
And then they turn around and cry about "human dignity" while not recognizing the irony of their position.
I am so sorry your daughter had to go through this.
I didn't know Starbucks had non-single restrooms. The ones around here just have single stall ones that you can lock.
Thank you. We are incredibly proud that she turned and hauled ass out of there, and found me immediately.
Womens room has 2 or 3 stalls with doors. Both mens and womens rooms needed a code to enter. Neither were posted as unisex bathrooms.
Dang!
And don't assume your daughter could take him out. Maybe she could, but appearances can be deceiving. And who knows if the guy carries an ether-soaked cloth or something. Sticking with trusted friends has always been a good safety plan, but screaming loudly also works very well in a situation like your daughter's. Glad the girls were together and physically unharmed, and that you are getting the neighborhood to be watchful!
Yes, little girls should be taught to scream bloody murder at the top of their lungs if any man ever enters their restroom. That will discourage the practice.
I only think that she could have taken him out due to the fact that she knows to kick a man in the b@lls if needed -- and although he was in a tshirt / shorts / sandals combo, my dog is more masculine than he was.
Remember some of them may have taken the plunge and cut their balls off...
Surprise attacks tend to change the odds considerably. But since you were there, your assessment is better than mine. Most important is that they're all safe.
One on one with Light in his Loafers, I don't think I could have kept my cool. Visions of slamming a fairy into a wall and getting arrested. Nothing helpful where dghtr and friends are concerned. I have had some shitty moments with bitchy fairies in my life. The women haters. Edit: It does matter that kids can trust in adults to step up and not allow the frightening or harming of children. One reason why the issue of child trafficking is so morally sickening. Humans were not created to think the harming of innocents is okay. But the world has corrupted righteous instincts with evil.
This is why they should go to milk tea shops and not Starbucks. Gendered bathrooms and there are not as many lgbt amongst Asians especially the fresh ones that make a ritual of boba
Once your girls try Viet coffee they will never go back to Starbucks
As a parent I would stay stand guard at public restrooms- or go with. For boys or girls b/c they are after our children. Also give your children ideas on what they should do when faced with certain scenarios. I used to drill in my kids heads what to do if they got kidnapped- scared the crap out of them but I’d rather they be scared & informed then oblivious.
Starbucks socks ass and fucks there empliyers every chance they get. I don't go there for 10+ years now because of there bad business ethics.
You should never allow your daughter to go to the bathroom alone anywhere. Ever. You already know they’re predators everywhere. I feel your pain, and I think it is wrong. What happen. But you should’ve been with her. End of story.
If you had been in that restroom with her, or in front of that door, that man would’ve never gotten in.
Ps. Which Starbucks was it, so we can call and complain. We can ask for Peyton directly that would be nice.
Not sure what area you are from but in the midwest, Starbucks restrooms are a unisex one room lavatory with a lock on the door.
mace
At times like this it would be nice if you had your concealed carry. I bet if he were confronted with a gun he wouldn’t do it again. If you have a dick, you aren’t a chick and therefore have no place in the WOMEN’s rest room. Furthermore, if there is a lock, no one else should come in.
Why isn’t this considered ASSAULT like a Peeping Tom law? Maybe if the police start getting calls for this type of thing they will start acting on it—in the case of children.
Some trolls 🧌 are giving needless downvotes here.
I noticed.
Should of kicked him in the nuts and asked if his pussy hurt.
I was in Florence airport, Italy recently and I was shocked when there were 2 men in the women's toilets. I travel through there often, and it has never happened before. The one left just as I entered. The other had his back to me as he was going through his suitcase. I spoke to him in my poor Italian pointing out it was a woman's toilet. After I left the toilets I happened to bump into him again. He rounded on me and started making a spectacle. Wrong person to pick on, which he didn't know at the time, but he clearly did after the interaction. The madder I get, the better my Italian becomes. Instead of apologies, it became an Italian soap opera. All rather odd. Is this now becoming a deliberate way of making women feel uncomfortable in a setting where one should feel safe?
All that means is they want you to drop it and they won’t do squat about it.
guy probably has a key to the bathrooms
The batista gave him the code. To the women's restroom.
he used to work there so he knew it already.
Im sorry that was an incomprehensible read.
Starbucks is about as woke as they come. Do not patronize woke stores, especially them. The best way to get their attention is to get every Mom you know to stop spending any money at Starbucks. If you need coffee that bad, either seek out a small local coffee shop where they work hard and don’t want to lose a single customer or just bring a thermos with you and save $10. When word is spread around decent Mom’s they will not forget. Net result is sales will start going down at that location.
It might also help if you pen a short letter to their head of customer service explaining what happened, your disappointment with the employee’s response and what you are now doing to discourage as many people as possible from going to Starbucks.
Anheiser- Busch poo-pooed the public at first as did Target. Not so much now. Let’s teach Starbuck’s the same lesson.
